Survivor's Remorse

I have a temper
That I have to temper
I came out in a sad September
Adapt to tension
Cause I react to pressure
Trying to do it for my future
So the past remember
I'm bout action
This ain't a protest
Keep my pistol with before I give it to coat check
Kill one of those cops that left Garner with no breath
Niggas know a lot of shit
But they don't know death
Heat up the concrete with these cold 1s
Can't vote Democrat cause I sold guns
Coke in the air won't make my nose numb
Survivors remorse
I know what I grow from
I know the suburbs and I know the jungle
Through it all Allah showed me struggle
They might show you love but trust me no one loves you
That's why you gotta keep a distance when they go to hug you

Closer I get to success
The more hopeless I feel
When I get to being whole
The more broken I feel
I got friends that I aint spoke to in years
Say the seen me on the telly
I just hope that they cheered
Yeah yeah
Closer I get to success
The more hopeless I feel
When I get to being whole
The more broken I feel
I got friends that I aint spoke to in years
Say the seen me on the telly
I just hope that they cheered
Yeah yeah

Growing up with Bill Bellamy
Lessons on infidelity
Pessimist to the melody
That love birds sing
I want both things
Loyalty and lust
Without the questioning trust
That's enough to make my heart beat bust
No one ever helped me with basics
Of healthy relations
Just left me with tapings
That tempted me crazy
What's the science on it
I been crying on it
Settle down
Nah my mom told me take more time
Yeah Umi told me take 4 wives
No woman would be worth my time
No woman no cry
But our sisters got strength we couldn't dream to possess
Ugh so why we only see em for sex
You know society be leaving em stressed
Like rape can be avoided if we teach em to dress
Men ain't talking to brothers
Brothas ain't talking to men
What you gonna say when your daughter
Can't trust her friend

Closer I get to success
The more hopeless I feel
When I get to being whole
The more broken I feel
I got friends that I aint spoke to in years
Say the seen me on the telly
I just hope that they cheered
Yeah yeah
Closer I get to success
The more hopeless I feel
When I get to being whole
The more broken I feel
I got friends that I aint spoke to in years
Say the seen me on the telly
I just hope that they cheered
Yeah yeah
